I came across this interesting product on behance.net. I was instantly struck by the imagery used and only then did I realise the printing technique was also interesting and unique. The idea of the product basically combines three large aspects of the Mexican culture: 1) Our Lady of a Guadalupe, a religious figure that millions of Mexicans pray to, 2) Lucha Libre wrestling masks, the most popular sport in the country and lastly 3) the Mexican candle, which again is used in religious ceremonies and is often prayed to.
After analysing this product I then realised that the candle must have gone through an interesting process for the vibrant designs to appear so vividly and of course so sharply. Obviously the material the design is printed on is glass so that means the process could perhaps be flexography, maybe even digital. However after analysing the products further I then realised that they are in fact stickers. This is probably the easiest method of successfully communicating the designers wishes, and of course, keeping the level of quality the highest it can be.
I was kind of disappointed to discover this was the way the product had been created, however I suppose the designer knew what they were doing and had narrowed down the options for the best possible outcome. In conclusion I really, really like this product and love how it combines so many different things aspect of Mexican culture. I hope to create something as interesting and thorough as this product above.
